Need some new tyres for our hunting quads.
What brands/tyres are recommended for SI high country stations?

I run 26in maxxis zillas on my trx420. Used kenda claws and kenda executioners for a while but the maxxis are miles better. Bear in mind this is for the north island but they have been a good all-rounder. Performed well in stoney riverbeds, mud and sand.
Only complaint is slow turns chew up tracks a bit.

Bear Claws get my vote. Pretty much all we fit to our customers quads. Great all-rounder

Bear claws are the ducks nuts, they even come in 12.5" wide for the rears :twisted:
If you want something more aggressive, Duro Buffalos are also a good tyre

Just remember, dont listen to the parts guy selling them, listen to the peasants like me out the back fitting them :lol: :lol:

We are running Swamp witch tyres on both of our can am 650's on a high country station and they have good grip and also don't wear too fast
